The Girl In The Chalk Circle

He builds a machine that can look twenty-five years into the past, and the first thing he does with it is find the swing set behind his old primary school.

That's where she is. Twenty-three, heartbroken, painting badly on purpose because it hurts less than painting well. She has no idea that in a quarter of a century she'll draw a chalk circle around a silent, grieving seven-year-old and tell him he's safe inside it, an act so small she'll probably forget she did it. He never has. He's spent his whole adult life a little too alone, a little too careful, orbiting a debt he doesn't know how to repay to a woman he was told he'd never see again.

So Leo Marsh does the only thing that makes sense to a man who solves problems for a living: he goes back. Not to change anything. Just to sit with her a while, the way no one sat with him.

What he finds isn't a debt he can pay off. It's a person, funny, wounded, fighting her way back from a year of being told her instincts don't matter, who starts, slowly, to need him the way he once needed her. Except the more real it gets between them, the more the math turns against him. Every visit costs something. The window was never built to hold a person this long.

The Girl in the Chalk Circle is a love story that runs in two directions at once: toward a woman who saved a boy she'll never remember meeting, and toward a boy who might not survive proving some kindnesses come back around.

Wind Amiras writes psychological and literary fiction that explores identity, love, grief, and the subtle ways people shape each other over time. Spanning thriller, horror, and mystery, his stories circle around a deceptively simple question: what does it truly mean to know someone - or even yourself - in a world where who we are can quietly shift, fracture, or be rewritten?

He is drawn to the dark edges of human experience - the fears we don't name, the secrets we bury, and the unsettling feeling that something, just beneath the surface, is not quite right.

Beyond fiction, Wind writes on lifestyle, health, and personal growth, translating complex ideas into accessible insights through eBooks and articles.

Based in Jakarta, Indonesia, he is an entrepreneur whose work has always required the same instinct that drives his fiction: the habit of looking beneath the surface and asking why. That curiosity - precise, patient, resistant to easy answers - shapes everything he writes.

Deliberate. Layered. Always reaching for something truer.
